The flowers were colored manually with Copic Markers (Christmas Gift!)Thought this project would be a perfect place to break them in.

Embellishments were kept to a minimum with 3 enamel dots.The sentiment looks fantastic against the white space.

This new set from MHK Designs has a very topical saying which I made use of on this card, the new film about Winston Churchill is one I shall certainly be going to watch. This set has many options, I chose to make a congratulatory card, ideal for a hard working student.
The wreath was changed to green, as was the wording, and printed out on white card. With the addition of some colour around the edge and pearl relief drops there is very little decoration added to this.
A dark green mat layer to frame the image panel was the last addition before being stuck on to a white card blank. There are so many things that you could do with these frames, I think this set has to be one of my favourites.

I used Faber-Castell pencils on Kraft on one of the framed flower images that come with the Framed Favorites digital stamp set. I kept the rest of the card simple so the image would be the focal point. There is a bit of MHKDesigns Seaside Digital Paper Pack on the card.

I created my card in Photoshop. I added some texture to the background, the added the wreath and sentiment from the Framed Favorites digital stamp set. I added more color to the wreath using various brushes.

Some burlap ribbon and washi tape were added to give more balance and texture to the card. I then punched the bottom corners to add a finished feel. I love this so much, and I hope you like it, too! Please feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Hello friends!

Here is the Handmade Card that I created:

I really pushed my creative envelope to create this card. I printed off the digi and watercolored it with Pearlescent Watercolors. I added a TON of accents! I die cut some vellum shapes, wreaths, circles and glittered shpes and distressed the edges for a "shabby" feel. I also dug into my stash of paper flowers and went a little floral crazy - but I love how it turned out! I'm trying to push my talents this year and try styles I don't normally gravitate towards. What do you think?

As a Design Team newbie, I'm honored to be sharing my first New Release card for MHKDesigns, both here and over on my blog. You can purchase this month's new release, Framed Favorites, at the MHKDesigns Etsy store

And here's my card...

I created the topper panel in my image editing program (GIMP), where I duplicated the frame piece and rotated it to surround the quote. I then colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and sparked with Clear Wink of Stella

Design Team member Janie has started a new challenge blog over at Crafter's Castle, and MHKDesigns is sponsoring the first challenge, so please pop over there for another chance to win one of Mynn's amazing stamp sets!

Good morning, friends! Welcome to the 2018 edition of MHKDesigner Inspiration blog posts. Every month our Design Team will showcase a project featuring products available in the MHKDesigns Etsy Store.

I'm kicking off our first series of the year with a card featuring a digi from MHKD's January Release set called Framed Favourites which is available for purchase at MHKD's Etsy store.

It's a simple card - no patterned or bulk. I coloured the image with alcohol markers and finished the project with some red twine for a pop of colour.

Come back soon for more inspiration from the rest of the design team. And don't forget to join in our MHKD January Challenge. You have until 31 January 2018 to link up your projects for a chance to win MHKDesigns digital stamps and paper pack.
